About: My experience with animals started at a young age. Growing up with dogs and cats i learnt to care for them along side my mum who is a full time pet sitter/dog walker, I currently work for my mum when she needs help and at a cattery part time. I went to an animal college for 2 years , studying Animal Management with that i had a work placement at a vets , which i completed 150 hours of learning lots of new skills on how to handle animals and there specific needs. I have experience working with all different types of dogs with different personalities , whilst out walking them or pet sitting. i’ve spent my whole life with dogs and animals and i enjoy ever minute i spend with them and learning about them. I’m currently working part-time but only for a few hours at a time, if your pet can be left for a few hours then that fits into my routine. I’m free weekends , if booked in plenty of time. When in the owners home, i respect there home environment by leaving there home clean and tidy. I listen to the owners rules and regulations when it comes to the pets by sticking to the pets exact routine which keeps the pets happy and content.
“Camilla helped me out massively a few weeks ago following a few plans that fell through last minute. She did a great job in a short time with my Otto and will definitely look to use her again!”
“Rowan came to us for the second time and she was excellent. She is so caring and considerate of my two eldery dogs, whilst still managing a very active pup. She spoilt them in all the good ways and I'm sure they missed her when we came home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rowan. She came to our house and stayed over. We absolutely trusted her with our home and our pups.”
“Absolutely great as always! Always come back to well looked after and loved pooches. Debbie does a fantastic job each and every time she comes! Thanks for dog sitting see you in a few weeks”
“It was our first time using Carrie to look after our dog, Arlo. She sent lots of pictures and videos of Arlo & Bella playing in the fields together, gave plenty of updates and was always easy to contact. The house has been left spotlessly clean including bed sheets and towels all washed for our arrival which was not expected at all. I think she even bathed our dog too which again completely exceeded my expectations. I’ll be very grateful and happy to use Carrie again in the future and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks so much Carrie & Bella xx”
“Caroline did a fantastic job looking after my Bruno for a week. She is a pleasant and chatty lady who clearly loves animals. She sent me updates and pics every day. She is so good I have booked her again. Highly recommended”
About: Dog lover doesn’t even cut it 🐕 My Grandma spent her life rehoming dogs of all kinds to the point of 20+ at any given time and my Mum is also a dog groomer with 20+ years of experience who currently has 8 dogs of her own. I’ve lived with, taken care of and owned dozens of different breeds throughout my life. So you could say that being a dog lover is in my blood! I regularly house sit for friends and family members, including the CEO of my business who owns a large farm with 3 dogs, 5 cats, sheep, chickens, rabbits and cows. She, like me, loves nothing more than her animals and puts her trust in me taking care of her beloved furry family members. If I am not free, she doesn’t go away, she doesn’t trust anyone else. Take a look through my gallery of photos and I hope my love and passion for dogs will be glaringly obvious! Your pets wellbeing is my upmost priority and I really hope to meet some of your furry family members very soon. I have a completely flexible full-time remote career on a working from home basis. I also have a full UK drivers license that I’ve had for over 12 years. I purchased my first home a couple of years ago. It is a semi-detached house with stairs and a fenced garden, we also keep the garden gate locked 90% of the time unless it’s bin day. I work from home so I am around all day to make sure they are well looked after and provide plenty of cuddles.
“After looking at previous feedbacks provided by others who had used Simone we decided we should try using her to look after our elderly 11 year old pet dog called Cici. This was the best decision we have ever made for Cicis care , Simone is absolutely amazing. As soon as we met her for an initial meeting we could tell what a caring Pet loving person she was, and Cici was at ease with her immediately. She also came across as being very sensible & a trustworthy caring person too. We booked her to look after Cici ( following on from our initial intro meeting) whilst going on our recent holiday. She stayed at our house to look after Cici so she was settled in her normal home environment, and we were so impressed with everything. Simone sent us lots of photos during our holiday with little messages so we could get reassurance that Cici was happy & settling with her. This allowed us to have a fantastic holiday knowing Cici was in safe hands. When we returned from our holiday Cici looked happy & well cared for, and Simone left our house looking so spotlessly clean you couldn’t tell anybody had actually stayed in it. She even remembered to put out & bring back in our Bins on the collection day!. All her previous 5 star ratings are well earned & we would allocate a 6 star rating if we were able to, she is that good. We will definitely be using her again in the future when we go on future holidays. It is rare to find someone so trustworthy that you can let them stay in your house and also at the same time so caring & skilled at looking after Pets, but Simone is definitely that person. Thank you so much.”
“Very pleased with Tracy looking after Russet. Tracy always replied promptly to communications and looked after Russet and the house well. Would request Tracy again if she is agreeable.”
About: Specialising in drop in visits and walks. I am fit and healthy and love the outdoors and walking. I would love to get your precious pets out with me in the fresh air to enjoy some little adventures. I have experience of dog care as I own a West Highland Terrier. I have also had bookings and experience on this app ranging from boxers, cocker spaniels, cockerpoos and more. I will make sure you pet is safe, happy and having a fun time :) I am reliable and you can trust me to look after your pet and home. I am available from 9.30am until 1.30pm, and 4.30pm onwards every week day for drop ins or dog walking. During the school holidays I am available anytime. I am also free most weekends - especially when booked in advance. I would prefer ongoing regular clients but I am also open to one offs. I will discuss each pets individual needs with the owner as every animal is different. I will make a note of any special requirements and medical details.
About: We’ve had dogs in our family all our lives and have had our own furry family member, Daphne, for the past four years. She’s a real bundle of energy, so we’re very used to keeping up with an active dog and adapting to different personalities and behaviours! We’ve been through dog training and behaviour courses ourselves and use the skills and techniques we’ve learned with Daphne every day. This has given us a good understanding of dog behaviour and how to provide calm, consistent and positive care. We also regularly look after dogs for friends and family and have done so for many years, so we’re very comfortable welcoming other dogs into our home, taking them on walks and helping them settle into a new environment. Most importantly, we treat every dog in our care like one of our own — with plenty of love, attention, patience and, of course, lots of walks and cuddles! I work from home, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to give your dog the care, attention and playtime they deserve. Our days include morning, lunchtime and evening walks, along with a few sessions of training games and enrichment throughout the day. Your dog will be treated just like one of our own and will be welcomed into our usual routine, helping them feel settled, comfortable and at home. Of course, I’m more than happy to adapt their routine to match what they’re used to or what you feel works best for them. We’ll care for your pet as if they were one of our own. We absolutely adore our dog, so you can rest assured that your pet will receive the same love, attention and care that we give to ours. Our outdoor area is fully fenced and secured with a locked gate, giving your pet a safe and secure space to enjoy some fresh air. Our home is pet-friendly and set up with your dog’s safety in mind, with anything potentially harmful kept safely out of reach. We also have a Ring doorbell camera for additional security around the outside of the property. I’m usually always within sight or close by to our own dog, and I’ll provide the same level of supervision and attention to your pet. We want every dog staying with us to feel comfortable, relaxed and part of the family. For overnight stays, we’re more than happy to provide plenty of cuddles and even a spot on the bed if that’s what your dog is used to! If we have multiple dogs staying with us, we have a spacious, secure kitchen area where they can settle comfortably together, with our own pup to keep them company. We also have dog cameras set up in the kitchen so we can keep an eye on everyone when needed.
About: I babysit lot so along with this, I have to take care of the pets of the families I work with as they are an extension of the family and I love it so much cause I’m able to build one in a relationship with the pets and they also create a place in my heart for them i’m currently on summer break as a nursing student so a typical day would be starting at around 7 am and my workday finishes at around 10 o’clock so that gives me a lot of free time to walk the dogs. Give them brakes to use the toilet and play with them, give them some snuggles give them some treats and just play with them I live in a fully serviced building, which is incredibly pet friendly and as a result of this the chances of them running away/escaping is very low and I’m not able to offer boarding, but I am able to pet walk your dog come in and do sit - ins with them and bring them over during the day
About: Hiya my name is Jeff and im new to Rover, I’m a student currently studying computer engineering and it’s my first year, i grew up with a golden retriever called bernie that my dad bought for me when i was 5 years old and he recently passed away of old age and i miss him so much and i miss having a dog around me to cuddle so i decided to join rover to spend time with other peoples dogs and I'm comfortable giving medication and following feeding routines exactly as you set them out. My days are flexible, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. I'm home most of the days. I'm happy to work around your dog's usual routine, whether that's early starts, late feeds or set walk times Your dog's safety comes first. Dogs are always on a lead when we're out, and I never let them off in an unsecured area. At home, i have a secure garden and nothing harmful is left within reach. I only take one client's dog at a time and I have no other pets, so your dog gets my full attention. I know where the nearest emergency vet is, and if anything ever seems off I'll message you straight away. I'm always happy to do a meet and greet first so you and your dog can see the setup and make sure it feels right.
“Ada was absolutely fab! She came to house sit my dog whilst I was at work, and it went completely smoothly. I was really nervous about leaving my dog, but she was really reassuring, sent me lots of updates throughout the day and made sure my dog was happy and relaxed. I’m really pleased with how it went and have booked again with Ada! Yay my dog has a new friend!”
“Sam was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. I found her really professional, reliable and personable, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Sonny in her care. When I got home, Sonny seemed really happy and well looked after, which was the most important thing to me. Sam was also great at keeping me updated while I was away, and it was clear that Sonny had settled really well with her. I’d definitely recommend Sam and would happily have her sit for us again. Thank you so much, Sam!”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Ribble Valley walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
House sitting is priced per night and generally includes an overnight stay. In the city of Ribble Valley, the price of house sitting can vary between £26 and £46 per night.
Just make sure you and your sitter agree on the actual hours they'll stay in your home before you accept the booking. Each sitter has their own routine, and some might suit your schedule better than others. Keep your messages on the Rover app for future reference.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a 'home base' service. Most sitters in Ribble Valley maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for 'WFH' sitters: Many sitters mention 'Work from Home' on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical 'away' windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
